MY ONE-MEMBER (ONLY MYSELF, AT PRESENT) AND NON-CHRISTIAN PROGRESSIVE PROHIBITIONIST RELIGION (PPR) IN A NUTSHELL:

--PPR SUPPORTS A PROPOSED NEW AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION THAT PERMITS ANY MUNICIPALITY, ANY COUNTY, AND ANY STATE TO AT THAT LOCAL LEVEL APPROVE BY SIMPLE-MAJORITY VOTE A BAN OR RESTRICTION OF ANY TYPE, WHETHER TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT, ON THE SALE OF ANY CITED TYPE OR CATEGORY OF DRINKING ALCOHOL, THE SALE OF ANY AND ALL TOBACCO PRODUCTS, THE SALE OF MARIJUANA, THE SALE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA, THE COMMERCIAL OPERATION OF TATTOO PARLORS, THE COMMERCIAL OPERATION OF PROFESSIONAL BOXING EVENTS, AND THE COMMERCIAL OPERATION OF PROFESSIONAL RACE-CAR EVENTS.

---PPR ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTS THE USE OF CERTAIN TYPES OF DRINKING ALCOHOL THAT CAN ENHANCE THE FLAVOR OF FOODS, SUCH AS WINE AND COOKING SHERRY AND RUM, IN PREPARATION OF CULINARY DISHES IN THE KITCHEN, WITH THE CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ALCOHOL ITSELF EVAPORATES DURING THE COOKING PROCESS AND THE FLAVOR IS WHAT REMAINS.

---PPR AGREES THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR SOME FOOD PRODUCTS, SUCH AS SOME MUSTARD PRODUCTS,  TO CONTAIN TRACE QUANTITIES OF WINE, WITH THE CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT INGESTION OF THAT FOOD PRODUCT WILL NOT IMPAIR THE JUDGMENT OF OR DAMAGE THE HEALTH OF THE PERSON EATING IT.

--PPR SUPPORTS A WELL-FINANCED AND WELL-COORDINATED NATIONWIDE NETWORK OF AFFORDABLE DRUG-ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTERS, ALCOHOL-ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTERS, AND TOBACCO-ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTERS, WITH THE GOAL BEING TO HELP SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS WHO ARE ADDICTED IN ANY OF THOSE CATEGORIES.

---PPR STRONGLY SUPPORTS FINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR EMPLOYERS TO IMPLEMENT RANDOM-DRUG TESTING OF CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEES AT AS MANY WORKPLACES AS POSSIBLE, WITH FAILURE OF A RANDOM-DRUG-TESTING TEST ON MORE THAN TWO OCCASIONS BEING AN AUTOMATIC BASIS FOR TERMINATION OF THAT EMPLOYEE.
